The man is a brain-dead idiot, who can't even articulate what the balance of power is. He got 0.5% of the vote, and yet here we are the taxpayers, paying him nearly $2000,000 for six years.

Yes, he'll fit right in.

I was about to post the same thing.

If he is brain dead, then he will be great friends with the p.m

primary school retort.

Muir has year 10 schooling. Abbott has multiple degrees and Rhodes Scholar. It is pretty easy to see who is the stupid one.

Tony because not even Oxford could make him smart?

Stupid is not mutually exclusive.

Under the current system and the current rules, he does deserve his seat.

Stop playing the man, start playing the ball.

Its not his fault he got elected, its the system.

wrong. 'deserve' is not a constitutional term, it is a value judgment. so no, he does not deserve to be there by any measurement other than the electoral system.

What system do we use to decide who will be in parliament?

He is there for the same reason as all the others.

re the topic
Quick answer... IMO NO.

if you live in Victoria you can make that opinion heard at the next election, 6-12 months from now.

Unfortunately as much as I love Melbourne, I am not currently living there.
